Recently Swirve changed the page of utopia after you had logged in. Instead of bringing up your province and news, there is now just the monarch message and a link "Continue into Utopia". There was a thread in the Utopia B&S forums "Silly monarch msg solution" in which Mehul made the following reply:
The change wasn't to solve the Monarch problem - that was a by-product of the change. The idea was to get much of the core "login" stuff out of the code for the main menu program. It should speed up the servers a tad bit -- that was one motivation. The other was that it will offer us an opportunity to offer a "feature ad". If that can get better results than the regular ads, we can cut out more ads elsewhere in the game.

Now 50% of my actions are met with the dialogue "Connection refused by server".
I'm ready to quit all together afer 5 ages, too much work, to little fun, even for a paying member.
This is the payoff we get for Voting for Utopia for People Choice Award... More ads, poorer connection! | ShadowPhoenix
